ASIAN INSPIRED WHOLE BAKED YELLOWTAIL

Yellowtail is equally great cooked on the Braai or in the oven. Here we have taken the whole fish and dressed it in lemon and limes, drizzled it with a sweet and spicy Asian dressing, then baked it in the oven until juicy and tender.

Prep: 10 mins

Cook: 35 mins

Yields: 6-8 Servings

Ingredients

1 Whole yellowtail, cleaned and scaled

1 lemon cut into slices

2 limes cut into slices

Directions

1Place all the ingredients for the Asian dressing in a bowl and mix together well.

2Place the cleaned and gutted yellowtail on a baking tray. Score the fish on both
sides, with 2 cuts. Using a basting brush, liberally coat the fish inside and out, with
the Asian dressing.

slices, lime slices and fresh coriander.

4 Pour the rest of the dressing over the fish.
